> Heck, getting developers not to rewrite an application in their new favorite framework is a tough sell.

This depends a lot on the "programming culture" from which the respective developers come. For example, in the department where I work (in some conservative industry) it would rather be a tough sell to use a new, shiny framework because the existing ("boring") technologies that we use are a good fit for the work that needs to be done and the knowledge that exists in the team.

I rather have a feeling that in particular the culture around web development (both client- and server-side parts) is very prone to this phenomenon.



In my personal experience, web development teams don't really have much to do, so they create work for themselves.


I agree.

In the Venn diagram of the programming culture of the companies that embrace vibe coding and the companies whose developers like to rewrite applications when a new framework comes out is almost a perfect circle, however.
